Bowenville Reserve - Free Camp near Dalby QLD. MAD DASH to get a new gas hose.
Переглядів 1,5 тис.3 місяці тому
@oldfartsoz This vid we spend 3 nights at Bowenville Reserve. We find out we have a damaged flexible gas hose which means we can't run our 3 way fridge overnight. So we head to Dalby before everything closes otherwise we would have to head home. Great free camp. Plenty of space, clean toilets, no showers. Very quiet and lovely bird life.

@oldfartsoz We head to Burnett Heads Lighthouse Holiday Park for 3 nights and try our luck at fishing. We could walk a couple hundred metres from the Park and be in town with a great cafe, pub, IGA, bakery etc. Was only approx 12-15 klms to Bundaberg yet it felt like you were in a small beach town.

@oldfartsoz We start our first leg of the journey at Rocky Point Retreat, Winfield QLD. We spend 3 nights here unpowered, water hookup for $27 night. Very busy as it is Easter weekend 2024. We have a go fishing off one of the local boat ramps but no luck. Would be great if we could have bought our tinny from home.
Getting ready to go again - how many fishing rods do we take away with us.

It would be great if you could put the names of the towns so we can get oriented and perhaps a road trip map for those of us that don’t know where you are or where you are going as the audio in the car was hard to hear…I am 81 so the hearing isn’t as good as it used to be.
